I’ve known Nora for over a decade- her mom, Martha was my first boss! Like first boss ever. Nora’s family owns Howard County favorite, Clark’s Elioak Farm. I worked for 5 years at the petting farm from high school through college. It was some of the happiest years of my life- outdoors every weekend, working […]
